reshape workforce needs andengineering education. Future engineers must adapt to globalization, outsourcing, and newtechnologies. Emerging economies like China and India are producing more trained engineersand hosting multinational R&D facilities. Developed economies face a shortage of skilledengineers, increasing competition for talent. Globalization requires engineers to work in diverse,multinational teams; an aging population worsens this shortage. Engineering curricula shouldinclude global perspectives, social awareness, lifelong learning, and business skills. Effectiveeducation also needs international collaboration with institutions and industry.Warnick [11] writes that engineers must develop a global mindset by understanding
